Book+Suggestions

On Friday, December 4th, six 5th graders and Mrs. Swenson gave book talks for our 4th graders. They each selected 6 books that they would read again and again. Below is a list of those books! Please use this list as a reference when you need a new book to read. And remember, ask your friends and classmates - they usually have the best suggestions! Feel free to add to this list!
